The once-useful veteran Six of Hearts has dropped to his lowest mark since 2008 which just allows him into this moderate handicap. Political Policy rarely runs on Turf these days but hasn't been running badly at Dundalk while Enough Is Enough gained her only victory in 40 starts over the course and distance in June. The former UK-trained Like A Prayer has dropped to a winnable mark but it's the lightly-raced SEA OF BLUE who may have the call as she has been noted staying on strongly in her two races this summer and should now be ready to lose her maiden tag. The three-year-old Double Fast has certainly shown improvement over shorter and, if staying the extra, has to be a threat.
